"Backs To The Land" (1940)

Titles read: "BACKS TO THE LAND!"
Northamptonshire.
At an agriculture college we see various shots of women learning how to be land girls and work on farms. We see them in land army uniforms and wellington boots being taught how to prune fruit trees, feed chickens and pigs, dip sheep, sow seeds, use a tractor and plough. Nice montage of shots ends the item - good footage of land girls at work on a farm.
